Welcome to The MidsideWelcome to The Midside. Here we witness the farce in politics and pop culture that discourages you from being you—the previous week’s biggest news, notable art, and craziest social justice outrage.

Want to know who won Comic-Con? We'll tell you (spoiler: no one), as well as break down all the television news that came out of San Diego. Don't worry, it won't all be a Zack Snyder love-fest. There are some shows we wish would just die...and Elliot really doesn't like Kristen Bell for some reason.

The world's a-changin', and we're ready for it in The Midside. While none of us are shocked at Marvel making Captain America black and Thor a woman or how awesome The Strain's premiere episode was, Elliot is so unable to understand why women have such a problem with nice guys that Justin has to break it down for him. Join us for the discussion or we'll find you and toss you into a giant hole in Siberia.

The internet asploded this past week due to LeBron James returning to Cleveland, Germany destroying another country (in soccer), and JK Rowling writing another story featuring the now-adult wizard she unleashed upon us all. We figure out what it all means for our future. Plus, Bryan Cranston and Breaking Bad are going to win a bunch of Emmys, and we acknowledge that fact because we're supposed to.
